My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

10.15-Rufus can open the door on village floor (15) and WILL escape. He has done this once before when he was with us previously before he was put back on traz(9.12), after he had calmed down from the behavior meds I don't believe he tried so hard to get out. Upon arrival this morning, he was out and about in the hall. I moved him to unit 10 where the door locks so he will not let himself out. Escape artist waiver may be necessary? FC
